I had a much longer comment...but the train wi-fi died, twice, and I don't feel like re-typing it a third time. Maybe it's not meant to be.
I did have a question: Does anyone know why v. 16 refers to Capernaum, or the region around it, as "the region and shadow of death". I understand the "light is sprung up" part, but was there something particularly bad about Capernaum? Anyone ever heard?
